About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be financially stable to be able to support my parents, as they have supported me my whole life.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow the sun, not the crowds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couch surfing when I was living in Belgrade, Serbia. We were staying in a small apartment, so we couldn't host, but we did show a lot of people around. It was a lot of fun. Now I am in New York, I am hoping to become a host soon. I will however still show people around, there is so much to see here. There is a lot of things to do that only locals know about. If you are interested in seeing a different side to New York let me know!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have raised tigers, lions, leopards, caracals and servals! I have also spent one uncomfortable night sharing my bed with two fully grown cheetahs, who took up the whole bed. My most amazing moment however, was sitting with a leopard while she was giving birth. She let me pick up her cubs right after birth so I could check what sex they were. That was undoubtedly the best moment of my life! I doubt anything will ever compare!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you about South African culture, big cats and most other animals in South Africa, I could also teach some useful cooking tips if that's your thing. I believe there is a lot to learn, so I am willing to learn anything you can teach me. Memories and knowledge are the best thing to share, so let's make some unforgettable memories!
